The setting for this being the sequel to Immortal Regis in my opinion is not very good. Like others have said the story is really confusing even if you have read IR until around chapters 24. Then you get ohhhhhhhh no wonder feeling from this story and then after that it's still confusing. Reading up to chapter 71 and I'm even more confused as to where the story is really going.

Could be better if the setting was set it 2 years after IR and then talk about the main characters struggles to save his brother instead of what we have now which I believe should be like 18-22 years later?

I think it's about 20 since somewhere in the story said Nex's currently wife and her dad has pushed Seiren (don't remember how to spell her name) away 20 years ago in order for her to get close to Nex

Immortal Regis had a crapload of plotholes, deus ex machina, loose ends, and other typical signs of bad writing. Its no wonder that when the author decided to continue the the series with the help of a new writing assistant, he rebranded the series as Cavalier of the Abyss to lessen the connection between it and the mediocre crap that was IR. In fact, the main reason why I had to dock points from Cavalier's score was because the author had to introduce some contrived plot points in order to make Cavalier's story flow with IR's.

TL R if you're going to start reading this series, don't bother with IR. Just start with Cavalier.

EDIT (4/8/15): I just caught up the to the latest chapter (Ch.127), and I have to say the plot twists here are fucking fantastic. The story is at a great point too, with incredibly numerous plot threads and subthreads reaching their climax while new ones are still being introduced. Updated rating from 8.5 to 10.

Awesome story, really got me hooked.I like the charachters and the romance in it a lot, just hoped that they author would have chose to narate the story chronologically and not with flashbacks.

Anyway, anyone knows whats up with the scanlations? Have the group dropped it, or it isn't in their immidiate priorities? (don't take that as an insult, im pretty gratefull to them just for reaching it that far, just asking xd)

I must agree that the first couple chapters made me go insane with a combination of WTF and REALLY!? and my reading IR really didn't help much. So here I go I will try to Explain

So to begin with if you've read IR for the first 24 chapters I believe you will not understand anything its like they just threw you into the book just like purplegeass said. Basically Nex (in my opinion ultra-douche is the best way to describe him.) Is unfortunately yep Jae Hyuk and Serin is imprisoned as his blood bank because she tried to kill him (Which her father knows but does nothing. (good parenting.)) It turns out that around chapter 24 it goes back 2 years after the end of IR and explains everything. He is summoned to some place in chaos where everyone is (sorry I don't remember the name.) Where this girl Iffrita is told to seduce Jae Hyuk which only leads to her falling for him. It continues on and Depore seeing this seduction gets angry and Jae Hyuk and Depore get into a fight where its slips that Serin was sending her blood to him and they talk she almost dies, he cast away his brother, saves the world (for now) and he asks her to marry him (to save the world he had to become Regis aka king.) Iffrita and she asks Mikhail to help her become queen thus hinting toward a conspiracy that Serin may hade made no attempt to kill him, and that in the in end it turns out that she will try to wipe out the daemon clan.

So pretty much from chapter 24 on everything makes sense. Sorry for the update but from 24 on you can see why he isn't a super douche.

This is a sequel to another series, if people didn't know. This is alright. I was hecka confused at the beginning. i was like what the heck happened. There's quite a few twists and turns, but the chapters are getting interesting. I'm talking about vol6 and 7...you kind of just have to stop reading and wait for more chapters to come out and then realise, dang so much happened you have to go back and read the series from the beginning

This manga is great.. now i want to know what the Regis is doing and who is fighting who.. i also want to know why His younger brother ( aka kalabolg or w/e the name is ) was sealed and also what happened with Serin .. There is also the question why he is such a bitchhhhh and kill any1 in his way.. man i cant wait ..

IR bored the shit out of me. Okay, I'll soften the blow: it was nothing special. It was a typical shounen story, with random kid getting crazy power-ups and becoming the SAVIOR OF THE DEMON WORLD.

And he gets the goth girl.

So when the sparkly-eyed kid came back as this dark, "fuck off or i keel you" tyrant, I was pretty pleased. Like 99% of everyone else in this room, I don't care for the "new protagonist." Because, let's face it, he's not. Even the author knows it; heck, he even poked fun at it in one of his parody columns.

Though I have to admit, the author did take a bit too long with hauling in the flashbacks, but he set up a pretty damn good standard. Unfortunately, the standards are a bit too high. Now fans expect him to concoct a convincing enough backstory as to why the hell Jae and Serin had their couples' spat of the century. And how the hell they had such a dumbshit kid. Must be recessive genes.

yea i was like what the hell is this, it has nothing to do with the original story but i was wrong, this manga started too far in the future. the first time i read it i was like "ok im piss, i will read this another time", now that they are talking about wats going on after immortal reagis end, im like "fuck yea".

the story is starting to get interesting, especially since they are now talk about what happend in tafter immortal reagis ending.

i did give this manga a 6 at first but now a 8.5 just because im getting lost in certain scene when but no too bad or it might be just me
